Carol Vorderman has slammed Jeremy Clarkson over his latest column, in which he described her as ‘awfully shouty’ over a discussion she had with a few female MPs over the menopause.
Carol revealed that she had been blocked by Ms Caulfield on Twitter and called for her to resign, while the MP tweeted: ‘I am not a punch bag and if you post misleading information about me you will be blocked . Either you want a meaningful discussion on Twitter or you just want to abuse me. You can’t do both and I don’t have to tolerate the later.’
The politician’s tweet was seemingly in response to Carol previously writing: ‘Women’s Health Minister @mariacaulfield who was caught fibbing about a letter she had supposedly sent to excuse the fact she couldn’t be bothered to turn up to the Select Committee yday. Well she’s blocked me. Maria, show some respect & RESIGN [sic].’
Speaking at the hearing, the former Countdown star also criticised recent comments made by equalities minister Kemi Badenoch, stating: ‘I was horrified when I was watching Kemi Badenoch the minister for women and equalities a number of weeks ago when you were questioning her Caroline [Nokes], and I just could not as a woman, a postmenopausal woman who is from a working class background get over the patronising statements that she made.
‘She basically said to Caroline this was a left-wing issue, when we were talking about menopause and pilot in the workplace, and characteristically compared women going through terrible, terrible menopausal symptoms with those who would want to have certain things given by government to those with ginger hair, to short, it was just, what am I listening to here? It’s the 21st century. This was like going back 100 years to when women just had the vote, I could not believe it.
